Hyderabad, August 15, 2021: The much-awaited first glimpse of power star Pawan Kalyan as Bheemla Nayak from the upcoming Telugu movie being called as PSPK-Rana Movie, has been unveiled on the occasion of Independence Day. As expected, Pawan Kalyan's screen presence in the first glimpse is as powerful as his name. ## The first glimpse shows PSPK wearing a lungi and he is at his usual best in an action-packed role as Bheemla Nayak who takes on the goons and warns someone called Jani. We can also hear a dialogue exchange between Kalyan and Rana Daggubati in the last sequence, in which, Rana introduces himself as Daniel Shekar while Pawan Kalyan utters his name in style- Nayak… Bheemla Nayak, though their faces are not visible. ## At the end of the glimpse video, Pawan Kalyan while introducing himself as Bheemla Nayak, says that he doesn't need any caption, which also depicts his off-screen image. The glimpse is a treat for fans as Director Sagar K Chandra and Trivikram served complete mass meals, which perfectly suits Pawan Kalyan's mass image. ## Thaman S has again produced a thrilling experience with solid and rocking background music. Interestingly, all the working stills of the film saw Pawan Kalyan dressed in police khakis, unlike what we show in the glimpse video. The movie is the remake of Malayalam hit Ayyappanum Koshiyum, which saw Biju Menon and Prithviraj Sukumaran in the lead roles. PSPK will be reprising Biju's role in the film while Rana reprises Prithviraj's. ## The movie also stars Nithya Menen as the female lead.
